The rule used here
Article 107 (amended 2025): the hourly wage plus 50% of the basic hourly wage. All hours worked on holidays and Eids count as overtime. With the worker’s consent, paid compensatory leave may replace the pay.
What the calculator assumes
- Hourly wage = monthly wage ÷ 30 ÷ normal daily hours. The law counts a month as 30 days (Article 2) but sets no hourly division, so this is common practice.
